1&1 eShops can be configured to provide automatic tax updates from taxrates.com. By properly
setting up this configuration, your items will always be taxed at the most current tax
rate available. The rates will automatically be calculated for the state or county to which you'd like
to ship your items.

Tax calculation for EU countries

Taxes can be calculated for countries in the EU, and there is an optional VAT registration feature
(see information below).

VAT registration

VAT registration only applies if your merchant country is an EU country and the customer is from
a different EU country. Certain companies within the EU are assigned a VAT (value added tax)
registration number. These companies do not have to pay taxes when they purchase items from your
eShop. You can offer your items to these companies and let them enter their VAT registration
number, or you can turn off the VAT registration feature. 1&1 eShops turn the VAT registration
feature on as the default setting.

Defining VAT rates:

VAT rates may also be defined individually. You either use a global VAT rate for all items or
define the tax rate individually for each item. Of course, the customer’s country of origin
and if applicable, the tax ID for commercial customers will be considered for the calculation of
the value added tax.

Taxes in other countries

For countries outside the US, Canada, and the EU, there is manual tax calculation feature. This will give you a flat tax rate.
